Join WPMC President and Identifier Stephen Bucklin for a night walk in Cook Forest in search of glowing mushrooms! We’ll be using UV flashlights to elicit fluorescence (glowing) in mushrooms, making them easier to detect in the dark. Bring a regular headlamp or flashlight for safety purposes. We’ll meet at the Old Logging Road trailhead on Forest Drive (Google Maps pin in the comments). There is about a 2-mile loop trail we’ll walk that goes through mixed woods dominated by towering white pine and eastern hemlock trees.

We are planning on attending the Cook Forest walk. And quite possibly this pop-up night walk. Couldn’t find a registration page. There will be 2 of us. We are beginners and wanted to try it out close to home. Is it ok to attend if we aren’t members?
Registration for the Saturday portion of the foray and Science Sunday is now closed. You are welcome to attend the Cook Forest walk. It is an outside event and we recommended wearing masks when around other people etc.
